PROFILE
Silke Schomann
Over four months, contributed to the mantidproject/mantid repository by delivering four features and resolving one bug, focusing on API deprecation, dependency management, and code quality. Led the deprecation of legacy algorithms with clear migration paths, introduced a standardized DeprecatedAlgorithm base class, and published comprehensive documentation to guide users. Maintained and upgraded MSlice integration, ensuring compatibility through conda package management and enhancing test documentation. Applied C++ and YAML expertise to refactor core components, enforce const-correctness, and improve static analysis hygiene. These efforts reduced technical debt, improved maintainability, and established scalable patterns for future development and reliable scientific workflows.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for mantid project (mantidproject/mantid repo). Delivered focused code quality improvements and refactoring across MantidSINQ and PoldiPeakCollection, enhancing correctness and maintainability. Key work included enforcing const-correctness, safer parameter passing, improved cloning logic, and terminology normalization from 'peak' to 'item'. Removed outdated static analysis suppressions and updated cppcheck suppression files to align with project standards. These changes reduce technical debt, improve stability, and lay groundwork for faster feature delivery in downstream work.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Maintained and strengthened MSlice integration within the Mantid project. Updated MSlice to patch release 2.10.1 in the conda build to improve compatibility and stability. Expanded MSlice test documentation with a new ADS interaction testing section, detailing save, rename, delete, and clear cuts between MSlice and Mantid. These changes reduce regression risk, streamline scientific workflows, and support reliable data analysis for users.

Nov 1, 2024In November 2024, delivered API deprecation for two Mantid algorithms with a migration path to SofQWNormalisedPolygon. Introduced the DeprecatedAlgorithm base class, updated constructors, and published release notes to guide user migration. This work clarifies the API lifecycle, reduces future maintenance burden, and provides a clear path for users to transition to supported functionality.
